new to market! this is a unique opportunity to own an exquisite penthouse residence in a full-service cooperative building on manhattan's upper eastside. this beautifully renovated 6-1/2 room home features extraordinary light and views to the north, east and south. a spacious entry gallery, bordered by a double-sided fireplace, leads to a sprawling, open living room and dining room, with sun-filled wall-to-wall windows. this expansive area, which shares the entry gallery's distinctive double-sided fireplace, is bordered by a dramatic 42-foot terrace, accessible from both the living room and master bedroom. adjacent to the dining room is a gracious, south-facing library with bay windows, which can easily serve as this home's third bedroom. there is a sunny chef's kitchen, featuring a subzero refrigerator, thermador stove, miele dishwasher, and miele washer/dryer. the kitchen's meticulous design also provides for beautiful granite counters, artisan stone flooring, and an open breakfast bar. the large master bedroom suite features a spacious bath, appointed with double sinks, a soaking tub, a large glass-enclosed shower, and radiant floor heating. the sunny second bedroom, located on the opposite side of the apartment, includes access to a lovely waterworks bath. this impeccably designed home provides for excellent, thoughtfully built-out, closet space, along with beautiful hardwood floors, crown molding, and recessed halogen lighting throughout. the building's services and amenities include a 24-hour doorman, garage, private garden, and storage. there is also a newly renovated lobby. residents of this cooperative have convenient access to all public transportation, excellent public and private schools, top restaurants, and wonderful shopping. pets are allowed, and pied-a-terres are permitted with board approval.
views are good from this otherwise unremarkable terrace. a bit too narrow for some forms of entertaining, but some ingenuity can still make is awesome.

Expert Opinion:
twelve feet of width on a direct living terrace means you can seat six for dinner and still get around the table without anyone standing up. the established planters add some green against the brick canyon views, though neighbors above have a decent sightline down. west exposure handles the afternoon light. a working terrace, not a showpiece.

Expert Opinion:
that high parapet wall creates a private pocket in the middle of midtown, which is not nothing. a direct living terrace at four and a half feet wide means you are choosing between the lounge chair and the side table, not arranging both. two people can sit here comfortably; three becomes a negotiation. morning coffee territory, not dinner party material.

several large terraces, each connected to the right rooms, make this a true gem, or at least it could be.

Expert Opinion:
nine feet of width puts this direct living terrace in functional territory, and the staging proves it. a proper seating group fits with room to spare. that cascading green wall on the left is a nice trick for softening the office tower across the way, which is very much watching. multiple access points mean you can drift in and out without ceremony. the view is city buildings, not skyline, but the light is good and the proportions work for morning coffee or evening drinks with three friends.

Expert Opinion:
size is decent for daily use and even small gatherings, but you will have to choose between lounging or dining furniture. the views are full of iconic buildings.
